MORGANTOWN, WVa. -- The University of Michigan men's soccer team earned its first road win of the season, as junior/sophomore Colin McAtee(San Diego, Calif./Torrey Pines) netted the game-winner in the 96th minute to lift the Wolverines to the 2-1 victory at West Virginia on Saturday (Sept. 21) at Dick Dlesk Field.

In a match that was affected early by a downpour, Michigan jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the fourth minute of action. Senior Ezekiel Harris(Flint, Mich./Carman-Ainsworth) was responsible for the score as he took a pass from junior/sophomore Tyler Arnone(Hicksville, N.Y./Hicksville) to give the Wolverines the early 1-0 lead.

U-M earned a stellar chance on goal in the 17th minute, as seniorFabio Pereira(Sao Paulo, Brazil/South Kent School (Conn.)) weaved through a trio of Mountaineer defenders. However, the shot from 15 yards out was turned away by a sprawling Lee Johnston.

The Maize and Blue headed into the half with a distinct shot advantage (11-3) and corner-kick advantage of 7-2.

U-M dodged a bullet in the 54th minute of action. West Virginia forward Kyle Underwood beat a Michigan defender on the left flank and chipped a shot towards goal, but the try skipped ride wide right.

The second stanza saw the Mountaineers transition to a more offensive brand of soccer, as WVU outshot U-M, 10-1, in the second half. The U-M defense held strong under the pressure but conceded the game-tying score with 18 seconds left in regulation, as Majed Osman finished on an assist from Ryan Cain and Zak Leedon off a long throw-in.

It was McAtee who was the man of the night for U-M, however, as he fired a rip in the first overtime at the 95:37 from 20 yards out that began off a free kick and was assisted by senior Malcolm Miller(Lawrenceville, Ga./Collins Hill) and junior/sophomore Tyler Arnone(Hicksville, N.Y./Hicksville).
